Quick Take
"Tweedy, Browne navigated currency headwinds to post positive Q2 absolute returns, continuing to pivot capital from high-performing defense positions into deeply discounted non-US small and mid-cap compounders."
Executive Summary
Tweedy, Browne Mutual Funds delivered positive absolute performance in Q2 2025, with returns ranging from 5.09% to 12.02%. Strong currency-hedged funds faced headwinds from US Dollar weakness, while unhedged funds capitalized on the USD's decline. Aerospace & defense holdings (BAE Systems, Rheinmetall, Safran) and banking conglomerates led positive performance, while Swiss pharmaceutical giants (Roche, Novartis) detracted. Portfolio activity featured new entries into high-quality SMID names like Azelis Group and Nakanishi Inc., balanced by partial trims of high-performing defense exposures and the exit of small positions.
